What is the recommended way to recover from an X lockup? Just a little bit ago, X locked up on me(I was using a GL program and had multiple[2] X's running) and I tried to get my system back by logging in remotely and killing the X process with "kill -s KILL <Xpid>" of the X that was frozen. Unfortunately, this only succeeded in killing my internet connection(dialup initiated from within X) without restoring local control so I was forced to just hit the power button. I plan on adding Alt+SysRq support[in the hope that Alt+SysRq+K will prove useful in these situations] the next time I upgrade the kernel, but am still curious as to how you go about regaining control remotely if it is possible. Should I have just bit the bullet and issued a reboot when I got in remotely since their isn't a good reason why I need to avoid rebooting?
